i think it's all about barack obama. democrats will be deeply demoralized, african-american democrats more so. but i think that the base of the republican party cares about only one thing and that is getting rid of barack obama and i think they will be infuriated and they don't care whether it's mitt romney or anyone else. chris: howard, big question to you. a lot of polls show it's possible that romney could win the popular. although it has no meaning in our constitution. will the right not accept the loss if they win the popular and lose the electoral college? will they cause trouble? >> i agree with joy. and my whole career has been about covering the rise of the conservative republicans in the south. as the defining principle of the modern republican conservative parlte. they will be full of conspiracy theories and craziness if barack obama wins again. it will drive them completely nuts. and i think we've had a decline in comity to use an old fashioned word in our politics since 2000. if the electoral college versus

so how can president obama get around this? eleanor clift. >> he doesn't need to get around anything. if he wants to nominate susan rice, he is going to do it up- front and he is going to fight for her. and lindsey graham and john mccain are a committee of two in wanting a select committee to investigate watergate style benghazi. i don't even think most republicans have the appetite for. that secondly, john mccain just did an enormous favor for susan rice because he just boosted her chances that she is likely to be nominated because the president doesn't want to look like he's walking away from a fate. this is a fight that he can win, should win, early in his second term. he can't allow these two war hawks on the hill to roll him. so it's tough to get a nomination through, but you've got an invigorated party with two more seats. if they want to filibuster her nomination the president can make a big issue of that and the republicans aren't going to look like a winner going after a woman what had nothing to do with the benghazi a
